Nassau, Bahamas - Pink flamingos! Blue Marlins! Yellow Elder! Lignum Vitae! These are all national symbols of The Bahamas. The year 2013 marked the 40th Anniversary of Independence for The Commonwealth of The Bahamas. As the days drew closer to independence, more people could be seen displaying patriotic colours and clothing. Additionally, there were many events to celebrate this major milestone. Despite July 2013 having passed, the celebration goes on, as Bahamian pride is shown. If you wish to continue the celebration in a beautiful setting, sip on a cup of tea, spend time with family and friends, while seeing fashion in motion, then you want to attend the Heart Ball Committee’s
Annual Tea Party & Fashion Show.
Under the patronage of Joan Lady Foulkes, the 2013/2014 Heart Ball Committee will host their Annual Tea Party & Fashion Show. Under the theme “Tea Time: Celebrating our nation’s 40th year of Independence”, the event will take place on the upper level of Government House grounds, on
